Content

The song is a mid-tempo mainly accompanied by electric guitar. In it, the narrator expresses hope on situations improving, saying that "every storm runs out of rain". It is in the key of C major with a main chord pattern of Am-F-C-G/D.[3] Co-writer Hillary Lindsey sings backing vocals.[4]

Critical reception

Billy Dukes of Taste of Country gave the song four stars out of five, writing that "it’s his unique style and ability to mix gravel with rose petals that makes him such a treasured original."[5] Matt Bjorke of Roughstock gave the song a favorable review, saying that "the California native brings oodles of charisma to a melodic heartbreak of a story that uses a storm as a metaphor for the life of a relationship."[6]

Music video

The music video was directed by Stephen Shepherd and premiered in December 2012.[7]
